"We know how to win as a team" - Dylan Groenewegen enjoys full support from Jayco AlUla at UAE Tour
Cycling
Team Jayco AlUla has confirmed its selection for UAE Tour, starting next Monday. The Australian team counts on Dylan Groenewegen in sprints giving him all the support possible. The Irishman Eddie Dunbar should then give it his best shot for the final classification.
Groenewegen kicked off his season with a victory in Spain and was therefore ambitios coming into AlUla Tour, where an illness stopped him. "The start of the year was nice, but the illness was a shame," he says in a press release. "For now I feel fully recovered and ready to race again in the UAE Tour."

"The level of the sprinters here is very high, but we know how to win as a team," says Groenewegen. "We showed that last year and I am confident that it can be done again. Elmar Reinders and Luka Mezgec will be there, but Kelland O'Brien has also been added to the lead-out. So we still have a strong team. So we are ready."
Team Jayco AlUla lineup for UAE Tour:
Eddie Dunbar, Dylan Groenewegen, Jan Maas, Luka Mezgec, Kelland O’Brien, Jesús David Peña and Elmar Reinders

- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
